What is Bandwidth Hero?

It’s an open-source browser extension which reduces the amount of data consumed when you browse web
pages by compressing all images on the page. It uses
data compression service to convert images to
low-resolution WebP or JPEG images.

How It Works?

When active, Bandwidth Hero intercepts all images loading requests

It sends each image URL to the data compression service

Compression service downloads the original image

Once image is downloaded it is then converted to low-resolution
WebP/JPEG image.

Compression service returns processed image to the browser

Privacy Consideration

After installing the extension you need to setup data compression service.
